Congratulations to him too. Its a very hard field and depending on the cancer type you have to see so many patients not make it.

I actually had lunch with an Oncologist today as I usually do a couple of times a week when he is not travelling (its nearly always indian food) - he gave a talk at one of our quartely meetings two weeks ago and he was the first I have ever seen get a standing ovation for his presentation.

I think I know more than I want to about NSCLC (Non-small cell lung cancer) after that presentation (I think thats what it is - the one smokers usually get)

He is currently working on the largest ever lung cancer clinical trial.

Do you have any advice for a friend of mine who has been diagnosed with lung and stomach cancer. He would prefer to have 'chemotherapy' here in Thailand rather then return to the UK, but doesn't know the costs involved or who to turn to.

He unfortunately does not have medical insurance.
